Summary
Overview
Join a leading North East Solar PV installer as we scale our commercial operations. We are seeking a high-calibre Business Development Executive to dominate the commercial renewables market.
This role designed for a specialist who doesn't wait for the phone to ring. You will work from a standing start and be the architect of our commercial growth, responsible for the full sales lifecycle—from aggressive cold-prospecting and market mapping to closing high-value industrial and commercial contracts. We provide the technical expertise and the Tier-1 platform; you provide the drive, the strategy, and the autonomous lead generation required to dominate the regional market.
Based at our Cramlington headquarters, you won't be chained to a desk. You will have the autonomy to be out in the field, meeting decision-makers and business owners across the North East and occasionally across the UK. This role is for a professional who thrives on the variety of strategic planning in the office and high-stakes, face-to-face negotiation on-site. If you pride yourself on your ability to build a multi-million-pound pipeline from scratch, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
Self-Generate Pipeline: Proactively identify and qualify B2B Solar PV leads through cold outreach, networking, and market mapping (no reliance on inbound leads).
Field Presence: Travel to conduct site visits with the primary focus on the North East (with occasional UK-wide travel) deliver presentations, and build face-to-face rapport with decision-makers.
Full Sales Lifecycle: Manage the journey from the first "cold" contact through to the technical survey and final contract signing.
Identify and pursue new business opportunities through market research and networking.
Develop and maintain strong relationships with prospective and existing clients
Prepare and deliver compelling presentations to potential clients
Collaborate with internal teams to tailor solutions that meet client needs
Manage sales pipelines effectively using CRM software
Track and report on sales activities, pipeline status, and market trends
Attend industry events and conferences to promote the organisation’s services
Assist in the development of strategic plans to expand the organisation’s market presence
Identify suitable roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar installations
Prepare clear, commercial proposals showing energy savings, ROI and payback
Work closely with technical and delivery teams to ensure projects are viable
Attend industry events and networking opportunities
Maintain and report on a structured sales pipeline
Skills
Proven experience in sales generation and/or business development roles, preferably within the solar or renewables sector.
Proficiency in CRM software for managing client information and sales pipelines
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal
Ability to analyse market data and generate actionable insights
Self-motivated with a proactive approach to achieving targets
Knowledge of industry trends and competitive landscape is advantageous
You must be able to demonstrate a successful track record of cold-prospecting and self-generating a pipeline in a B2B environment (evidence of this will be required).
Job Types Considered : Full-time, Part-time, Freelance
Benefits:
Company pension
Flexitime
On-site parking
Private medical insurance
Profit sharing
HOW TO APPLY: To be considered for this role, please include a brief cover note or a couple of sentences in your application detailing one specific B2B lead you self-generated from a standing start and walked through to a close. Applications without this detail will not be reviewed
No recruiters or agencies will be considered.
